Towards Improved Regulatory Efficiency: Reconstruction of Ministerial Regulations to Enhance Regulatory Reform in Indonesia

This study emanates from the intricate nature of Indonesia's legal regulatory framework, resulting in a legal vacuum concerning the substantive content of ministerial regulations. Ministerial regulations, despite not being part of the formal hierarchy of legal regulations, constitute 31.56% of the total regulations, posing challenges of overlap and overregulation. The constrained legal attribution for ministers within a presidential system becomes a central concern. Employing a normative legal analysis approach and empirical data, this research constructs an efficient regulatory framework. The findings indicate that the elimination of ministerial regulations as a source of legislation can mitigate the issues of overlap and overregulation. Through a restructuring process, the content of ministerial regulations can be consolidated into presidential regulations, ensuring direct presidential control and regulatory efficiency at the central level. Strategic measures, such as the establishment of a special bureau under the president, facilitate synchronization and harmonization of legal regulations. With an emphasis on presidential regulations, this system supports sectoral governance and reduces the proliferation of scattered regulations. The outcome is a more efficient, non-overlapping, and accountable legal framework.
